Better wheels and more capable machines add to grinding’s edge on tough materials
How four intersecting trends in Manufacturing are changing the role of the technology supplier.
An engine manufacturer discovers there is a way to reduce 50 billion data points to 2 billion—a reasonable number from which the foundation for machine learning can be built.
The whole of manufacturing is moving toward a leaner and more agile future enabled by additive manufacturing. But this change requires continuous and unrelenting innovation to be able to do things not done before.
HoloLens 2, Microsoft’s second-generation, mixed-reality smart glasses is a big part of why augmented reality in assembly has become ready for prime time.
Sandvik AB has agreed with Battery Ventures to acquire U.S.-based Cambrio, which has a portfolio in CAD/CAM software for manufacturing industries.
Absolute Machine Tools has earned the title of Diamond Partner Systems Integrator from Mitsubishi Electric Automation Inc. The partnership is expected to expand opportunities in robotics and automation for 0020both companies.
The increased use of CT scanning for metal powder bed fusion parts is usually associated with high-value parts and elevated quality requirements. There are increased requests for CT scanning on parts made of engineering-grade polymers like PEEK, PEKK or ULTEM and for fiber-reinforced composites like Nylon 12 CF.
GE and the Global Manufacturing and Industrialisation Summit (GMIS) have announced a partnership to explore the role of digitization, lean manufacturing, and workplace safety to support the transformation of manufacturing and economic regeneration.
Here is a case study of how Hexagon Manufacturing Intelligence helped out a manufacturer.
